Matthew VanDyke, a US national and founder of the private combat-mercenary firm Sons of Liberty International (SOLI), was arrested by India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) in March 2026 alongside six Ukrainians.  They were accused of illegally crossing into Myanmar from India’s Mizoram state to provide military training and supply drones to ethnic rebel groups, including the Chin National Front (CNF) and Chin National Army (CNA). VanDyke, who has previously fought in Libya, Syria, and Ukraine, is linked to US-backed efforts supporting Myanmar’s anti-junta forces.

The NIA investigation revealed that the group was involved in smuggling portable combat drones into Myanmar via India. VanDyke is suspected of collecting funds from Christian organizations abroad under the guise of humanitarian aid to finance rebel operations.  The arrest has reignited concerns about foreign mercenaries operating through India’s Northeast, with reports indicating that over 20 suspected mercenaries linked to Myanmar rebel training may have already left India undetected.

While the US government denies direct involvement, documents and analyses suggest long-standing US support for Myanmar’s opposition, including funding through the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and training via groups like Free Burma Rangers (FBR).  The broader context involves allegations of a US strategy to counter China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in Myanmar, particularly the Kyaukpyu port and oil pipelines, by supporting separatist movements in Rakhine and Chin states.
